Hi I'm using LateX. I have a block of text that I'd like to have a small box like space highlighting the are (just like a \begin{equation} but for text).
Is there such a thing in LateX?

Is \makebox what you're looking for? There are some examples at http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/Wiki/index.php/LaTeX:Layout#Boxes
I'm not 100% sure what you're asking I'm afraid, but if you just want to indent text with a margin on each side of the page to make it stand out, you can use...
\begin{quotation} Quotation is good for long blocks of text that you want highlighted \end{quotation}
\begin{quote} Quote is suited to a single block of quoted text. \end{quote}
If you actually want to have a physical black box around the text, you might want to consider wrapping it in a tabular / table, or you might want to delve into minipages and/or par box environments...
